L.A. Owns 20,000 Vacant Lots. So Why Isn't Anything Getting Built?

 Hour 3 (8.7)  The Kings clean out their lockers after Colorado ended their season, and Anze Kopitar walks away after eight straight playoff exits — we get into the exit interviews and what this franchise looks like without him. Traffic-wise there's relief and pain at the same time: the 5 is open in both directions at the Grapevine, but you're still staring down a 19-mile backup. Then we plan an escape — the Conway Cruise to Puerto Rico and the Virgin and British Islands, sailing within five to eight miles of Cuba. After that, a look at how car insurance companies can legally charge single people and widows more than married drivers, and a warning about a genuinely dangerous weight-loss trend making the rounds online in which people are deliberately trying to infect themselves with a parasite. We're not going to walk you through it — we're going to tell you why doctors want it to stop. We close on the big one: the City of L.A. is sitting on roughly 20,000 vacant lots while the homelessness crisis grinds on. Why isn't anything getting built? Plus, a look at rising food insecurity across the country.  #LAKings #Kopitar #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #ColoradoAvalanche #LATraffic #Grapevine #I5 #LosAngeles #LANews #CarInsurance #InsuranceRates #Cruise #Caribbean #PuertoRico #Homelessness #AffordableHousing #VacantLots #FoodInsecurity #TalkRadio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
